Ithaca Lettuce

65 days. More tolerant to summer conditions than most other crisp-head (Iceberg) types, and well worth trying where others aren’t always successful. Yields a solid, crisp and juicy head to about 5-6 inches in diameter. Developed by Dr. Minotti of Cornell University in New York state.

I love this lettuce and the same thing happened with me as another reviewer. It never made it to market! I also learned not to let it in the ground too long or it starts composting right in the garden. Never had it bolt.

We grew 5 varieties of lettuce last spring. All others were bitter, but Ithaca stayed great tasting, no bugs, no issues. We are close to Houston, and it gets very hot here. Pick leaves until they head. Long supply. Best lettuce for south.
